Detour in Place - April 4, 2026
Out of an abundance of caution, our partners at Parks Canada have made the decision to temporarily close the first 2km stretch between Highway 93 and the Marmot Basin Road, due to increased mud and debris along the roadway under current weather conditions.
April 5th, 2026, access to Marmot Basin will be via Athabasca Falls and Highway 93A, as outlined on the attached map. This route adds an estimated 30 minutes of travel time between Jasper and the resort.
Parks Canada will continue to monitor conditions and adjust access as needed with safety of guests and staff as the top priority.
We appreciate your patience as the situation evolves and recommend allowing additional travel time if you have lessons or other bookings. The good news – ski conditions are excellent, making the drive well worth it, and we've got more snowfall in the forecast.
For questions, please contact us at 1-780-852-3816. For the latest updates, visit Parks Canada. We will continue to share updates as new information becomes available.
